I used the AI photo generator (Designer Microsoft) was a fun and applicable experience. I can see it being incredibly helpful when searching for images. I had fun experimenting with what words and phrases produced images that were in line with what I had in mind. I found that using colours worked quite well.

The one issue I ran into was that it was because my blog is about backpacking and hiking a lot of the images produced were of different landscapes none of them seemed to be from the west coast. I tired to specify but it still did not work. So I was surprised when putting in “Vancouver Island” provided an image I was happy with. At first I didn’t think that being TOO specific would be helpful. I started with “mountains and ocean images” and narrowed the search until I was happy. It was fun being able to have such autonomy over the images being used in my blog. It was will be useful when I need to find specific images to accompany specific information.
